Opinions/Experience with Omega yeast in general? And as substitute for Wyeast 1335?

[MrBJones]

Any thoughts about Omega yeast? They say that their BRITISH ALE VI (OYL-013) is a good substitute for Wyeast 1335...what do you think?

 

[GoodTruble]

I generally have not liked Omega over Wyeast. But they are generally very close.

My lhbs sticks mainly Omega, so I’m getting to know their products pretty well. I have had nothing but good experiences with all the strains I’ve used- Bananza, West Coast Ale I & II, the Irish and Scottish ale strains, and British I. I haven’t used British VI yet, but every fermentation takes off like a rocket, and every strain has pretty much performed the way it’s described by Omega.
